One of the last events of the 61st annual Windjammer Days was the Vintage Boat Parade on June 30. A fleet of vintage boats (25+ years old) motored through the harbor in a regal parade of vessels.

The Southport Island Association’s July 4th parade at Newagen went on as planned, despite the threat of rain.

Professional photographer Mike Leonard was out and about July 1 to capture images of the annual event now open to motorized boats, too!
